To serve as a cocktail:1. Place all ingredients in a shaker and fill with ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

Note: This recipe multiplies well to make large batches. Multiply the above ingredients by four or eight and stir in a pitcher with ice, rather than use the shaker.

To serve as a hot toddy:1. In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the cider, bitters, Simply Organic® mulling spice, and heat to just-less-than-boiling (depending on your microwave, around 45-60 seconds). Remove and transfer to serving mug, add amaretto and brandy, stir with cinnamon stick and serve immediately.

Note: To make a large batch, multiply the above ingredients by four or eight. When making large amounts, you may wish to warm the ingredients in a saucepan on the stovetop, stir all the amaretto and brandy into that saucepan, then portion out into serving mugs. It's also delicious without the alcohol, simply omit if desired.

Mulling Spice

Wrap your hands around a mug of warm, mulled cider for reassurance on a frigid winter evening, a brisk autumn afternoon — or even a cool summer morning.
